dismissed EB-2 Case: Engineering
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the director determined the beneficiary did not possess the minimum level of education required for the advanced degree professional classification. The decision hinges on the interpretation that a U.S. baccalaureate degree or a foreign equivalent is a mandatory prerequisite for qualifying via the 'bachelor's plus five years of progressive experience' route, and a three-year bachelor's degree is not considered a 'foreign equivalent degree' for this purpose.
Criteria Discussed
Advanced Degree Foreign Degree Equivalence Bachelor'S Degree Plus Five Years Experience
